IMPROVEMENT IN CUPBQARDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 184,007., datedNovember 7, 1876; application filed April 25, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILTON H. HILL, of Winterset, Iowa, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Cupboards, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to theaccompan ying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure l is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of aportion of one end. Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-section-on the line asw of Fig. l.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, useful, and compactcupboard for kitchen use, comprising a sink, flour-chest, table, 8m; andit consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe the exact manner in which I have carried it out.

In the saidv drawings, A A represent'the sides of my cupboard, and B thefront. Hinged to the side A is the swinging flour-chest c, titting intoa recess in the said side. The front of the cupboard is provided withdoors (I e f, opening, respectively, into the cupboard, tinware, andspice department, and the closet for holding the ironware. The door 0 ishinged at its bottom, and, when lowered, rests upon the ledge a andforms the kitchen-table. To the side A is hinged the sink 0, which issupported, when lowered, as shown in Fig. 1, by the jointed arm 9. Tothis sink is attached a waste'pipe, it, through which, when the sink israised, the water is discharged into the waste-pipe 1), leading to awater-receptacle,-m, as shown in Fig. 2. This sink, when raised, entersa recess flush with the sides of the cupboard, and it is then secured bythe button a when not in use.

It will readily be seen that my cupboard is of great utility andconvenience, asit will save flour-receptacle c, and sink 0, all combinedto operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
